Every president has an incentive to exploit existing laws to hand money to his or her supporters. Is Biden more egregious than usual, and if so why? (Personal reasons? Structural reasons?)

Is there any way to make this kind of provision less exploitable in the future?
Some meta questions I’m curious about:
